So, I officially started my job at The Body Shop in town. I will be doing 22 hours for the next few weeks leading up to Christmas. I am hoping to continue after that, but we don't know about that yet. Basically after I finished my training yesterday, I was very excited about The Body Shop as a company who is socially conscious and very eco-freindly. Also, I feel like I am going to want to spend all my wages on Body Shop products because they are so good! Well I need to plan my purchases carefully, but to make matters worse, as a staff member, I enjoy a 50% staff discount on any purchase I make. So this makes my predicament worse/better depending on how you look at it. I need to take advantage of this discount as much as I can before I stop working here, and since I can't be entirely sure that I will be there after Christmas, I will be doing some very aggressive shopping starting next week, when I get my first pay check! I also got free make-up products to wear when I am working which is great. I love the eye shadow and the lipstick I got! Oh yes, and in this picture is Anita Roddick, founder of The Body Shop. She was super cool and Thy Body Shop was first in its campaign against animal testing. (Does anyone remember the movie Ferngully?) Check it out; its a cute movie about the environment. Working at The Body Shop makes you want to pamper yourself and enjoy being a woman which is something I find hard doing in this country so far due to hard water and stuff, but hopefully it will help me by working at such a beautiful and nice smelling place. Our theme is: Nature's Way to Beautiful!

I was going to say, "Is that a pic of you on your first day at the Body Shop? Cause if so, you look a lot like mom in the '80s" Congrats on the job, hope the holidays aren't too crazy there as they were here when i did the seasonal shift!
